I figured that we could save a little money if we bought everything at one time an' got sort of a quantity discount, so I drove one wagon an' Jane dro...e the other.We pulled into the yard at the livery stable afore 9:00 o'clock; that wuz kind of late in the day, but we wuz in no great hurry. I took care of our mules while Jane visited with some of the women she knew who wuz sitting in their wagons nursing their babies. Our town wuz real progressive, so we had a separate hardware store an' lumber. Small thrills shot through me again. Despite the body-shaking climax I’d just had, I felt oddly unsatisfied. I wanted more. Looking down at the dancing couples in masks and costumes, I searched the room for him, expecting to see a man just entering the room, a man wearing a dark shirt, and me on his hands. No, I realized, he won’t make it that easy. He wants me to find him, and perhaps to find something else too. Smoothing my black party dress down over my tingling thighs and adjusting my small. "Well, as you were away I got her to come round...I got a bit tired of just using the 'toys', so I had her come over and I was telling her about you..." "Go on," he said, wondering if she could ever be fully satisfied. "Well, I asked her if she'd like to come with me sometime...to yours..." "Oh, right," he said evenly, trying not to sound 'eager'. "Was that okay?" "Sure...er, what did she...?" "Well she wasn't all that keen at first, she's about 'ninety per-cent lesbian', but I told her. Coaches are here at last and Dea is called. She is the first one,then she is dismissed to wait till all other girls have finished.As I have said before it's the end of September. It's not cold but it'skinda chilly. That's why we wear tights under our shorts and why we havehoodies to keep Dea and me warm. To keep Dea's mind occupied we do thesame twists, jumps and steps as before.Only three girls of eleven are selected to the band, Dea's one of them.The two of us and the other two girls now.
